The FPPF Saturday held its thanksgiving gathering and Christmas Party at the FPPF Art Chamber 2 in Fort Santiago, Intramuros, Manila to mark the end of another successful year for the Federation. The FPPF is particularly thankful for the hugely successful photography workshops held during the year, among many other blessings.
On hand to attend the get-together were the FPPF officers, mentors and staff as well as the officers of camera clubs affiliated with the FPPF. Chairwoman Eduviges Huang, Finance Director Dr. Amado Castro and Project Director Lito Beltran presided over the happy occasion. In thanking the FPPF mentors and staff, Mrs. Huang singled out web admin Chris Malinao (what did I do, what did I do!) and art curator Willy Marbella for their contributions to the FPPF efforts. A sumptuous meal, songs and speeches enlivened the gathering. Highlight of the affair was the traditional exchange of Christmas gifts and the raffling off of many Christmas goodies: groceries, gift items, umbrellas, T-shirts, bags and many more!
